I wish to find out how I can capture a kernel dump file when the VM running on Ubuntu 16.04 crashed/hanged. Below is what I have done so far.



  1. I installed linux-crashdump on the VM


  2. I edited /etc/default/kdump-tools to include the line



    USE_KDUMP=1


    screenshot of file in text editor



  3. The VM had been crashing/hanging frequently but I failed to obtain any dump file from /var/crash folder after I had to restart the VM through vCenter to access the VM's folder via putty.

  4. The only time I can successfully retrieve a kernel dump file is when I simulate a kernel panic.
